Its a bit misleading. It means that the Wifi and BT modules are placed on the USB bus internally. This is a common (flexbile and cheap) way of adding components to a pc motherboard. <br/><br/>The alternative is to have a seperate chipset on the processor bus like in a Centrino architecture.<br/><br/>So, 'on board' is the answer you are looking for.<br/><br/>Regards<br/>Steve. Hi Bob.

The alternative is to have a seperate chipset on the processor bus like in a Centrino architecture.

So, ‘on board’ is the answer you are looking for.

Does it have 802.11 on board or not? Like ya said I am almost there on a purchase, and a built in 802.11 is very important. I'd would really like this for Christmas if my parents are reading this!!!

Spending money will be greatly reduced. Now to be honest, If the price dropped another $100 or more i’d be able to afford a UMPC. right now it’s so close it’s teasing me!
